Camping at WE Fest – the complete WE Fest experience…

WE Fest campers come in all ages and styles, from college kids in pup tents, to retirees in Air Stream trailers. Their shared love of country music generally allows for peaceful coexistence among the diversity of people in the campgrounds, but occasionally a problem arises between those who wish to go to sleep after the show, and those who would like to prolong the party. While all campgrounds have a 2:00 am noise curfew, some campgrounds are more active than others after that hour. Please take some time to read all of the campground descriptions, and select that campground that best matches your lifestyle.

Different campgrounds for different lifestyles

Over the years we’ve learned that some people like to party a little in the campgrounds, some people like to party a lot, and some people just want to get a good night’s sleep. So we’ve set up a system that sorts people out so everyone gets what they want. First, we’ve designated Lake Sallie and Northwoods as family campgrounds, with strictly enforced noise curfews. If you like to get some shuteye, try to get a permit in those campgrounds. We’ve also made age recommendations for the other campgrounds, on the theory that the younger you are, the later you like to stay up. To select the campground that fits your lifestyle, whatever your age, scroll down and select an individual campground to review its description. Excessive noise is never allowed in any campground, particularly after 2:00 am.

Vehicle Permits for the Campgrounds

Minnesota State Law limits the number of total vehicles that can be in any of the Soo Pass Ranch campgrounds. A vehicle permit is required for each “steering mechanism” that enters a campground. Large buses/RV’s or semi’s that exceed 40 feet in length will require extra cost (a large vehicle permit) because of the larger space they use.

Helpful Hints

We always like to remind you that if you want to camp with friends or family, and you’re traveling in separate vehicles, you should plan to arrive together. Campers are guided to the next available campsite, and there is no way to “save” a campsite.
